RHH's photos with the keyword: stropharia

Stropharia ambigua means the "Questionable Stropharia" but why it would be called that I do not know. This example, like the other mushrooms I've been posting recently was photographed on a hike in Wallace Falls State Park last autumn. It is claimed that eaten it tastes like old leaves, but its fitness for consumption is questionable (and perhaps the reason for its name). Some list it as poisonous.
